RAINFALL AND TEMPERA
TUl2E ABOUT SUCH AS
TUE GROWING
CROPS NEED.

WAsH1NeT ON, D. c., May 29.-The
following is the weather crop bulletin is.
sued by the signal Office for the week
ending May 80:
Rainfall the week the rain
fall has been slightly in excess OF the
average in the cotton regions frolc Texas
eastward to Georgia and generally in
New England, New York, Pennsylvania
and Virginia. Frequent showers occur
red in the corn and wheat regions, where
the total rainfall for the week, although
well distributed was slightly below the
normal. Kansas has been favOured by
rainfall in excess of the normal, especial
ly in the western portions. Owing to the
favorable distribution of the rainfall the
seasonal deficiency of from ten to fifteen
inches appears as yet uninjurious in the
cotton region.
General remarks.-Througho the
entire agricultural districts the weather
has proved especially favorable for grow
ing crops, and reports Sunday morning,
May Goth, show that favorable conditions
of rainfall and temperature yet continue,
except in Michigan. Illinois and southern
Minnesota, where needed showers are to-
day predicted"

LUCKY DODGE!

The millionaire, SOule, of Hop bitters
fame, has recently invested in Dodge
City to the amount of over hundred
thousand dollars. Mr.. Soule is the long
headed gentleman who put his fist into
his jeans and built the great irrigating
ditch. There's man who has faith in
southwestern Kansas, and who also, sees
bright future for the reformed wicked
city of the plains" Dodge may congrat-
ulate herself, because the presence of
such great tinanciers with their money
and enterprise will do great deal to-
ward establishing her upon the high road
towards great city. Then if she sue
ceeds in getting the land office, won't we
wish wee secured corner lot before the
advance?-Fowler Graphic.

Editor DODGE CITY TINES.

Editor DODGE CITY TINES.
By your last issue | see that the ed
itor of the Garden City Herald wants the
word boom changed to ''inunda," for
the reason that the word boom" Origi-
mated in the lumber regions of the north
vests. The Herald man is mistaken.
The word boom was is use before lum-
Der was cut in the northwest, and means
a floating obstruction put across river
to catch all logs drifting down from the
creeks and streams into which the logs
are rolled, near the Logging camps, and is
constructed of a series of logs held to-
gether by heavy chains, and fasteded to
piers built across the river for said purpO-
ses. Now think that ''boom'' is the
proper word for Dodge City. as it is
catching the greater part of the capital
lists drifting westward, and buildin g up a
business center like the boom held to-
gether by large business interests, an Choir
ed to large three and four story brick
business blocks, catching the wholesale
and retail trade for miles and miles around
now drifting to other places. 1nunda,"
showed under or under the tide, may be
the proper words for Garden City, but
let us have Boom. J. E. Z.

WE REPEAT.

Last week we stated that Dodge City
was in the incipient stages of real estate
boom. We repeat the statement this
week, and we are willing to rise or fall
on the result of eur prediction. This real
estate cyclone will strike within the next
two months time.
These rising infections are seen in the
embryo enterprises under progress.
The location of the Presbyterian col
lege.
The building of the A. I. s. S. F. r.
r. round house and machine shops.
The establishment of the Forestry Sta
ton.
The building of the Denver. Memphis
& Atlantic R. r.
The building of the Wichita & Western
r. r.
These and other enterprises are stimu-
lating the real estate pulse, and the won
derful activity is nigh at hand. We ad-
wise our real estate dealers and holders to
remain firm. The boom is coming.

DRY FARMING.

The Iowa State Agricultural College
raised fifty bushels of corn per acre last
year on the College farm, though it had
no rain on the crop for ninety days. They
simply kept the ground stirred SO that
the fine loose dirt served as mulch and
kept the moisture below from evaporat-
ing That is our theory exactly. We
hope all our farmers hereabouts will try
the same plan this year if it should turn
dry.-Garden City Sentinel.
The editor of the Sentinel doesn't know
a grubbing hoe from pitch fork, nor a
threshing machine from smut mill, and
yet he pretends to know something about
dry farming" We guess the farming
he knows about is dry, sure enough.

DECORATION DAY.

In accordance with the general custom
throughout the country Dodge City laid
everything aside, and made her obeisance
to the most cherished custom of the Amer
ican people. In no other country on
earth, can be found the same generous
feeling between parties separated by
their fealty to antagonistic principles,
such tendency to overlook and forget
wrongs, and such natural and unconven-
al expressions of feelings of this character
that is to be so generally found in all Sec
tons of ours. 1t is on an occasion of
this kind that we have an adequate re-
alization of the greatness of this country.
This union in the spirit of the people in
country of such extent has no precedent
in history. On an occasion of similar
character in Ireland or Scotland, the En-
glishman, who is related by the same re-
ligion and the same lang uage, remains in
his factory; the Swiss 60 on making
clocks; the Dutch go on making cheese.
where else can be found continent whose
people are linked together in their hopes
and their sympathies, and whose hearts
unite in the observance of national cere-
mony, with common grief if it be sad,
and common joy if it be glad"
On Sunday afternoon, May Goth, the
Lewis Post of the G. A. r., atteded by a
large concourse of citizens, assembled at
McCartys Opera House, where Rev. G.
Lowther, assisted by the other ministers
of the city, preached the memorial SER
mon. 1t is not thought necessary to COM
ment on remarks of speaker SO well
known in this community as Mr.. Low
Their. The sermon could not be other
than satisfactory to all present.
The postoffice and business houses
closed Monday forenoon and remained
closed until the conclusion of the cere-
monies. Early in the day people came in
from the country adjacent and the streets
had a very animated appearance. At
three O. clock the Post of the G. A. r.,
marched to the cemetery, followed by
the Sons of Veterans and large number
of citizens in carriages and
on foot. On arrival at the
cemetery circle was formed, consisting
of twenty little flower girls tastefully
dressed in white. Ranged in a circle
about them was the Lewis Post of the G.
A. X. with the Sons of Veterans, while the
spectators formed still larger ring on
the outside. A prayer was offered by
the Chaplain, Rev. n G.. Collins which
was followed by short address from H.
Juneau, the Post Commander After the
reading of the proclamation by Adjutant
N. P. Laughton, Professor Aikens read,
in very impressive manner, beautiful
poem composed in 1884 by Lon Holding,
which is given below.

All the spring the farmers have shown
their mistaken faith in the country by

THE STORM.
Larned Chronoscope, 27th.

Larne0 ChrOnOecOpe, S'tn.
The effect of the storm Tuesday night
seems to be wide-reaching. 1t was more
severe west of here, and particularly so
on the old Paul Curlett farm, eight miles
west of Larned, now owned by Perry Re-
ger. The storm came up from the north
west, and it hailed ten minutes before it
rained drop. The hailstones were from
the size of a walnut to as large as the fist
The swath cut by the hail was about 900
yards wide, and Mr.. Roger could not say
how long before reaching him. but its vi
olence was spent about 600 rods south
east of his house. He had in the ground
200 acres of grain, consisting of corn, wheat
OATS potatoes, flax and castor beans, all
but the wheat being in excellent condition,
and when the hail ceased every vestage of
vegetation had disappeared. His house
was almost split to pieces by the hail.
Five window shutters were split into
tooth picks and every pane of glass knock
ed from the windows. The shingles on the
north side of the house were split into
kindling wood. The fine large trees on his
timber claim were stripped of their leaves,
branches broken off, and the bark chip
ped from the trunks, so that they will
hardly live. HIS cattle broke from the
corral, and drifted before the storm At
four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
hailstones as big as walnuts were picked
up from sheltered places, and when he
attempted to cross draw full of water,
at ten clock in the morning. the hail
stones were floating like slush ice on the
surface so thick that his horse didn't like
to cross. Jack rabbits, birds and frogs
lie thick over the ground, where they
were killed by the hail After the storm
was over the hail lay ten inches deep all
over the ground. His land was cultivat-
ed to high degree and as smooth as a
floor before the storm, and now it is full
of holes, just as though thousands of cat
tie had been driven over the soft ground
and left hoof dents. Mr.. Roger says he
has seen many severe storms in his life,
but never anything to compare with this.
There was but little wind and scarcely
any lightning or thunder till after the
storm had passed over and come back,
then there was considerable electrical dis
turbance.
If there were Others injured by the
storm we would like to hear from them.
